Download Statusbar

At a Glance

The Download Statusbar add-on for Firefox offers a less
intrusive, more streamlined way to keep track of your downloads
than the standard downloads window.

Instead of displaying your downloads in the regular pop-up
window, Download Statusbar tracks them in a new toolbar that
displays at the bottom of the browser. A progress meter shows the
ETA and speed for current downloads.

When you double-click a completed download, or right-click and
choose the Open Containing Folder option, the toolbar listing for
that download automatically clears. When there's nothing remaining
in the toolbar, it automatically hides. To see your download
history, you can still open the regular downloads window, but it
otherwise won't pop up on its own.

Download Statusbar makes it easy to track in-progress downloads
as you continue to surf, and smooths out the browsing experience by
sparing you a separate window. This well-designed extension makes a
fine addition to Firefox.

Note: The download link takes you to Download
Statusbar's add-on page at Mozilla.org, where you can install the
extension directly into Firefox. The add-on is free to use, but its
creator requests a donation.
